C) The burglars were politics related. I didn't read the article, but this is probably most related to Nixon's Watergate scandal.

A is incorrect because they are anti-communist, so wouldn't support Cuba.
B is a logical fallacy and completely unrelated to the article.
D is wrong for obvious reasons: teamwork isn't the main idea of the article.

Answer from: lizdeleon248

The correct answer is C. It supports the idea that the burglary was related to politics.

Indeed, the article is about the crime of breaking and entering into the Democratic Party’s offices located in the Watergate Building, by five individuals hired by important members of the Nixon administration and the Republican Party. This context helps interpret their motives and prosecutors surely knew the crime was politically motivated. However, this particular piece of testimony from one of the defendants proves the political motivations of the crime. Nixon pretended initially that this was a common burglary, this statement proves him wrong.

Republican have always been staunch anti-communists/leftists and they have always accused Democrats of being “commie sympathizers”. This type of discourse proves the political affiliation of the burglars.

answer: b) bubbling its way

explanation: an adjective is a word or a group of words that modifies a noun (name, thing, place,

in this case, the first option "to heartily enjoy" isn't describing or modifying any noun, the third option "hiking along merrily" is describing an action but it doesn't modify any noun, the last option "beside us" is just a preposition that indicates position, so the correct answer is the second one: "bubbling its way" because it is modifying the noun "stream".

Read this excerpt from through the looking-glass by lewis carroll. "you might make a joke on that,” said the little voice close to her ear: "something about ‘you would if you could,’ you know.” "don't tease so,” said alice, looking about in vain to see where the voice came from; "if you're so anxious to have a joke made, why don't you make one yourself? ” the little voice sighed deeply: it was very unhappy, evidently, and alice would have said something pitying to comfort it, "if it would only sigh like other people! ” she thought. but this was such a wonderfully small sigh, that she wouldn't have heard it at all, if it hadn't come quite close to her ear. the consequence of this was that it tickled her ear very much, and quite took off her thoughts from the unhappiness of the poor little creature. what question should a reader ask to clarify what is happening in the story? who or what is the voice speaking to alice? when will alice attempt to share a joke? what secret will alice share with the new character? why do whispers tickle the listener?
